Beautiful Manuscripts from the Rare Music Collection

The Rare Collections of the Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library consist of manuscripts (mainly works by Australian composers from the colonial period to the present day) and printed scores and parts from the 17th century onwards, which are the major part of the collection, including many early and rare editions of European composers.
